-
Turkish
Psych/Funk
Instrumental
Classic.
Originally
released
in
Turkey
1973,
Özkent’s
masterpiece
(creation)
of
an
all
instrumental
Turkish
Psychedelic
Funk
album,
filled
with
classic
beats
and
breaks
still
inspires
long
time
fans
and
first
time
listeners.
The
funky
rhythms,
hypnotic
percussions,
and
heavy
break
beats
makes
this
a
holy
grail
amongst
DJ’s
and
music
fans
alike.
Only
a
handful
of
copies
from
the
original
pressing
are
known
to
still
exist
making
this
reissue
a
welcome
addition
to
any
record
collection.
The
concept
is
very
complicated,
futuristic
and
free
from
categorization.
Traditional
folk
songs
mixed
with
rock,
jazz,
blues,
funk
and
psych.
Özkent
took
traditional
turkish
folk
songs
and
reconstructed
them
for
the
new
“hip”
generation.
It
was
recorded
live
in
just
one
day
with
some
of
the
best
studio
musicians
in
Turkey
The
band
was
made
up
of
2
drummers,
2
guitarists,
2
percussionists,
a
bassist
and
a
Hammond
B3
organist.
Özkent
created
his
own
unique
guitar
sound
by
adding
extra
frets
and
a
clutch
of
effect
pedals
in
order
to
create
quarter
notes
and
emulate
turkish
traditional
scales.
Mustafa
Özkent
has
since
made
arrangements
for
hundreds
of
other
artists
in
Turkey.
But
this
unique
album
documents
his
most
revered
work.
In
the
more
than
40
years
since
the
Mustafa
Özkent
Ve
Orkestrası
recorded
“Gençlik
Ile
Elele,”
it
seems
that
the
world
is
still
just
discovering
this
gem.
